A linear graph of parking fees in dollars based on hours parked has the points (2,20) and (6,44). How would you interpret the slope of the graph as the rate of change in the parking fee for each additional hour of parking?(1 point)

The correct interpretation of the slope of the graph as the rate of change in the parking fee for each additional hour of parking is:
The parking fee rises by $6 with each additional hour.
Apologies for the repetition in my response. You are correct, the correct interpretation of the slope of the graph is:
The parking fee rises by $6 with each additional hour.
To interpret the slope of the graph as the rate of change in the parking fee for each additional hour of parking, we need to calculate the slope using the given points (2,20) and (6,44).
The formula for calculating the slope of a line is: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the points (2,20) and (6,44), we can substitute the values into the formula:
slope = (44 - 20) / (6 - 2)
slope = 24 / 4
slope = 6
Therefore, the slope of the graph is 6. This means that for each additional hour of parking, the parking fee rises by $6.
So, the correct interpretation is: "The parking fee rises by $6 with each additional hour."
